IVCCD Chancellor Kristie Fisher discusses the benefits of the upcoming exterior renovation project at Marshalltown Community College.
The Iowa Valley Community College District (IVCCD) set a public hearing date for an exterior renovation project at Wednesday night’s board meeting.
“This is the project that in the Marshalltown community is most visible for the public,” Chancellor Kristie Fisher said. “One of the things we hope this will do as a visible project is to drive enrollment and to make it feel and look like a place where students want to attend.”
The project will update some of the outer structures of the buildings on Marshalltown Community College’s campus, add exterior entrances, improve safety of walkways and make roofing repairs.
